Live blogcast of the J-bitch's last day at the Martinoz
09:00 I'm still at home. I was rolling grape leaves all night.
09:15 Grape leaves came out pretty good, if I may say so myself.
09:30 This is a big day, so I need a big breakfast.
09:45 Brushing my teeth with my awesome German toothpaste. Germans are pretty serious about tooth decay.
10:00 I'm going with a Tex Mex look for today. It came out pretty good, if I may say so myself.
10:10 Note to self: Last night was not a good night to forget to charge my cell phone. Good job, asshole.
10:15 Ok, everything on my checklist is in my bag. Must also remind DG to call his niece. I'm outta here.
11:00 I'm in. J-bitch is there. The excitement is palpable. As it turns out, not everything on my checklist is in my bag. Of course.
11:03 J-bitch has just finished the manual segmentations for the aseg atlas. Yay! If you don't know what that is, RTFW.
11:10 J-bitch cannot figure out how to create a blank line (i.e., _________) on the wiki. We're rooting for her.
11:17 J-bitch brags about never having forgotten to bring her ID badge to work for 3 years. I'll miss J-bitch's bragging.
11:20 J-bitch's neighbor is talking on the phone about registrations like nothing's happening. Not sure his last day at the Martinoz will be live-blogcast. Waiting for J-bitch to come back from the bathroom.
11:26 J-bitch is fighting with thermoregulation problems. Asked to clarify this problem for our readers, J-bitch explains that it's not in fact about her registration-inclined neighbor being too hot to handle, which is what I originally conjectured. She refers me to this page for more info. In short, she's cold w/o her jacket on and hot with her jacket on.
11:35 DS comes in to chat with J-bitch. He has newfound confidence that stems from the use of Just for Men and [censored].
11:54 J-bitch is recycling some notes that she doesn't need any more.
11:55 J-bitch is eating the last of the German soccer-mix candies. It's delicious.
12:01 The office is pretty empty today. Everyone's getting their nails done for tonight, I'm assuming.
12:10 There's good news and bad news. I'll leave it at that.
12:15 J-bitch announces that she'll be out for lunch. She's taking the 12:30 shuttle and doesn't know when she'll be back. We can't know where she's going or with whom. One of those lunches.
12:32 DG is nervous on account of the Martinoz tribes descending on his home tonight. The weather forecast is clear, except for a 30% chance of isolated thuderstorms between 7 and 10pm.
13:01 J-bitch still at mystery lunch. I'm applying some smoothing kernels.
13:37 J-bitch still at mystery lunch. I'm going for coffee with CM.
14:03 J-bitch still at mystery lunch. I feel obnubilated.
14:17 J-bitch back from lunch with her exclusive BFFs. The ones who are not organizing her party and not live-blogcasting her last day, in case you were confused. Oh, well.
14:22 J-bitch is offended by the insinuation that she HAS exclusive BFFs. She explains: "In the past few weeks I have been grateful to all the special attention and invitations to all the special events (and I have attended them all, with exception to sangria on the day I still tasted like whiskey, but that will happen one day!) I appreciate all that Snoopy has done, and can't yet bring myself to say good-bye, it will ruin my flawless make-up!"
14:29 J-bitch very chatty after her lunch. She has stuff for me in her car. Says I shouldn't be too excited, though.
15:21 Going with J-bitch to her car to pick up the booty.
15:31 J-bitch's going to Texas and all I got is a leaky bottle of gin. And non-leaky ones of vodka, blue curacao, and dry vermouth. Not bad overall.
16:10 Having WF cookies (double choc choc chip and lemon coconut white choc) with La J-bitch, SM, CM, and AS. The eating of such cookies is a longstanding tradition and it'll never be the same again.
16:40 Happy hour with the boys. Consider the "do not disturb" sign up.
17:15 J-bitch comes in to give us her therapy flash cards. She says it's her legacy and that we'll have more fun with them here than she'll do in the future. (We probably need them more, too.)
17:21 J-bitch and I distribute her thank-you notes to her important senior collaborators. I'm sad.
17:27 J-bitch is writing on post-it notes.
17:37 J-bitch is composing emails to tell people what loose ends'll have to stay loose.
17:38 J-bitch going to recycle the last of her recycling.
17:45 Thermoregulation problems. Although maybe problems isn't the right word for them.
17:54 J-bitch deletes herself as a user from her laptop. And winces in pain. Tear :(
18:10 I'm back. J-bitch is gone. All that's left is a bottle of hand sanitizer. A bottle of hand lotion. A bottle of body lotion. And the memories.
